Frequently asked questions

Who are we at Y-NOTTS and what do we do?

We are a Charity, registered with the Charities Commission. We are a small friendly team of trustees, i.e. people who are trusted to look after the money we have, and to make sure it gets to the right people.

Who should apply?

Young people, aged 16 to 30 years of age, living in Nottinghamshire. We have rules to keep to, so can’t just give the money away to anyone.

What is the money to be used for?

To help you with education and training and where there is no other way for you to get funding. Or, maybe to add to other funding if you need more. We know that some of you may have missed out on education and opportunities for all sorts of different reasons, and we think we might be able to help to support you and to help to give you a fresh start if that is what you want. We want to try to help you to improve your chances of becoming employed.

Would you help to fund my Degree Course?

No. Unless there were exceptional circumstances, we would not fund this kind of course as state funding/student loans are already available.

What kind of things can you apply for?

Almost anything that is legal!! and which we consider will help improve your circumstances. Especially training that will help you towards employment and independent living.

Is everyone who applies successful if they are eligible?

No. We would need a lot more money than we have if we were to do that. We have to make hard decisions as to who to help first and sadly, some will be disappointed if we have had to say “no”.

How do we make the decision?

Trustees discuss your application to decide if you are eligible for funding. Applications can take 3 months, provided you have included all of the requested information. Trustees reserve the right to extend this for any reason if necessary.

How can you apply?

You can apply online using our online application form. If this is a problem for you download the relevant application form our other ways to apply section, and get help to complete it and email back to us.
